I fear the relegated team this year maybe the last - once Toronto go up, they'll pull up the ladder, and whoever's is in will stay in for the return to licensing for 2021!

Ill say it then, they said SL need the bulls!!! so if Leeds go down tough to SL, however i think it will be London.
If SL do pull up the ladder then the Championship should find a better sponsor than Sky as most of the money will go to SL anyway and we get little or no coverage.

I’d like to see Hull KR relegated purely so Ethan Ryan’s contract becomes null and void, hopefully then we might keep him!

I’d love Wakey or Huddersfield to come down. It would be karma indeed.

I don’t have the hatred for Leeds anymore like I used to. They helped us out massively when we were struggling and sent so many players to is on loan even though they could have quite easily sent them to their dual reg club. And to see them go down would be a disaster for RL.

I’ll be gutted if London come down. Especially after being loyal to the lads that got them promoted. I’d like to see them build.

On "RL Backchat" a couple of weeks ago Francis Cummins said that that no way would the RFL let Leeds be relegated
So some Teams are more favoured than others which is wrong,unfortunately I think it will be London making the drop

I always assumed there would be anEGM of SL the next day if Leeds finished bottom. At that egm, the decision would be made to increase SL to 13 or 14 teams

And everyone said the same about us... too many fans, the biggest huge draw in SL at the time....all the same stuff they are saying now.

I don't want Leeds down. I'd imagine their spending power would far outstrip the rest of the championship so 2020 would be another holding pattern for the rest of the clubs...

Because of the gobby bell ends that run Wankfield and Hull KR I am going to laugh my head off when one of them is relegated it will serve them right completely.

However, it won’t be this year unfortunately. With Toronto going up this time one of them are toast next season without a doubt. Probably Wakefield.

Just in time for them to be on the receiving end of the cuts in funding as a result of the vote those two shysters were so keen to push through. Karma for their appalling behaviour. Plus both clubs have fans that were quite quick to fling sh173 at us.

I can't get my head around David Hughes' approach to this season. How many millions has he put into the Broncos over the last 15-20 years? And then when they finally get their chance back in the top flight, he tightens the purse strings and leaves them with no money to strengthen the squad? I just don't get it.
If I was a Broncos fan I'd be furious because there are three or four SL teams doing their best to drop out of the top flight this season and yet London are more than likely going to save their blushes because of their lack of activity in the transfer market.

Hatred is a strong word and I guess you've got your reasons for disliking the Leeds Rhinos (As have all Bradford Northern/Bulls fans)

I went to St Blaise and then Cardinal Hinsley GS despite living outside of Bradford and I was also the only Leeds RL supporter in both schools,You can guess the abuse I got whilst at school when Northern beat Leeds

I then worked at a printers in Bradford at a time when Leeds regularly got beat by Northern and then the Bulls,So I pretty much had to eat humble pie for the duration of both my High school education years and then 8 years of employment until I changed jobs in 1998 (So pretty much 13 or 14 years of torture )

The rivalry between Bradford and Leeds during those years was bloody great though and I never missed a game between these 2 sides until you got relegated in 2014 from SL,During these golden years we had fantastic crowds which regularly topped 20,000 at both grounds

Fans in both Leeds and Bradford want these games back on despite our rivalries over the years and IMO SL is far worse off without a strong Bradford Bulls in the competition.

I thought that I also hated the Bradford Northern/Bulls during those years, but I have realised since the clubs relegation from SL that it was nothing more than a very strong admiration and respect of such a great club that I had against you guys and that I just wanted to win at all costs every time we played

I'd guess that the majority of Bradford fans would also agree that we didn't actually hate each other but that we were both very good rivals which brought the best out of both clubs

I would love you back in SL and start to hate you again though
